what kinda crap is this?

Almost the entire game they hit us right in the mouth and have physically dominated us and knocked us around like a little *****!!!!! After someone hits your qb late two times you Jack that player and send a message not watch them hit your qb late your protect and have his back. This team will always be the team I root for. But when you have 24,000+ fans come to watch you in a Bowl Game don't put up a a $*** show like this. The last two Bowls have been an embarrassment! I can't believe a
C-USA team physically imposed their will on a BIG 12 team so much.

Re: what kinda crap is this?

Ya, it is a little disappointing. You talked it up and got 25k fans to show up. But if you keep putting up this performance they will get a little tired of sitting in the rain. I really can't say that this surprised me much as it is hard to beat a good team twice in a row and Tulsa had the blueprint to beat us after watching our game tape.

Re: what kinda crap is this?

We were completely one dimensional as usual. The D get left on the field way too long. They can't stop a,truck like their running back all night. This year and last just didn't seem like they were prepared to play

Re: what kinda crap is this?

It is 2003. It is 2008. It is 1989.
All I saw was some crap tackling all day. That tall dude who is a defensive end.....?????....We got issues. Tall, but slow, dumb, bad tackler, gets pushed to the outside everyplay. I liked our D with Knott, but after him we just had no response. no depth. no coaching.
Punt rushing sucked again.....4 guy get to within 3 yards of the guy and then they all simultaneously do the gangnam shuffle disco style....1 of them should call an undeterred rush every punt!!!!
Zone read sucks. I have been saying this since 2008.....We do not have cam newton. Every freaking running play, including the woody ones, our guy was running sideways 2 seconds after the snap. That is coaching and philosophy problems. I would be shocked if Rhoads does not clean house in the entire O-coaching staff.
If Sam was hurt, he should have took himself out earlier.....but then I saw how Jantz ended the game, so I guess that would not have been the answer. Hell, we suck. We have to get an offense that can run at least 4 plays in a row without a zone-read loss of 2 yards. Tulsa is a good team, but we just got dominated and we must want to get better. I am not as upset at the defense. I will not blame the Lang either...at least he was playing with some attitude. his play was NOT the game.....Tulsa had shown in the second quarter they were the better team.

Maybe we can push people around....but we don't know because we run the freaking zone read with an insufficient talent difference. Cam Newton could run it against Ole Miss......we can't run it against anyone.

Agree with most of your post except: 1)Rhoads will not clean house (hope I'm wrong with the OC), and 2) Lang made a stupid, frustrated move. Just can't do that with the game on the line.
